  • 16cm=1.6m

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail W=Fx

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 12=1.6F

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail F=7.5N

Now

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail F=-Kx

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 7.5=-1.6k

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail k=-4.68N/m

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 18.8-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then d
Basile [38]

Answer:

p.d' = 37.6 V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Potential difference p.d=18.8V

New Capacitor C_1=C_2/2

Generally the equation for Capacitor capacitance is mathematically given by

C=\frac{eA}{d}

Generally the equation for New p.d' is mathematically given by

 C_2V=C_1*p.d'

  p.d' = 2V

 p.d'= 2 * 18.8

 p.d' = 37.6 V

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to t
Bogdan [553]

Complete question:

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit? Fringe C is the central maximum.

Check the image uploaded.

Answer:

The difference is 1100 nm

Explanation:

A bright fringe creates constructive interference, the wavelength is always in a multiple form.

At center fringe, the difference is (550 nm)(0) = 0

For the first maximum, the difference is (550 nm)(1) = 550 nm

For the second maximum, the difference = (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Thus, for nth maxima, the difference is (550 nm)(n)

From the image uploaded, C is located on the second maximum, therefore the difference is given as  (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Therefore, the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit is 1100 nm
